Hi Hannah,
Thank you very much for your feedback!
From what I understand Dropbox allows you to backup the contents of an external drive. However, I don't have the impression that the automatic synchronization of the external drive and the cloud is possible. Could you please confirm this, I'm not sure I'm getting this one right.

Many thanks

Hey Julie!

 

Indeed, you can only make changes to your files in the external drive, but you cannot make changes to your backed up files in the cloud, so I guess the sync would be one-way, in this case.
